Boebert Switches Districts for 2024 Election, Receives Speaker Johnson's Endorsement
Despite moving to a more conservative district, Boebert's victory is not guaranteed due to ongoing controversies and a crowded Republican primary field.
- Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., has switched Congressional districts ahead of the 2024 election, moving from the 3rd to the 4th District, which is wealthier, whiter, and more Republican-leaning.
- Boebert has received the endorsement of Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., for her campaign in the 4th District.
- The switch is seen by some as a strategic move to avoid a challenging rematch with Democrat Adam Frisch, who narrowly lost to Boebert in the 2022 midterms.
- Boebert's decision has been met with criticism, including from long-time friend and former Republican state lawmaker Greg Brophy, who expressed disappointment with her decision.
- Despite moving to a more conservative district, Boebert's victory is not guaranteed due to her involvement in a series of scandals and a crowded Republican primary field in the 4th District.
